Risk Oversight and Board Structure

Board Leadership Structure

The Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Among other things, the Board sets broad policies for the Company and approves the appointment of the Company’s investment advisers, administrator and officers. The role of the Board, and of any individual director, is one of oversight and not of management of the Company’s day-to-day affairs.

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Board may designate one of the Company’s directors as chair to preside over meetings of the Board and meetings of stockholders, and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him or her by the Board. Presently, Mr. Craig Faggen holds the dual positions of chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is an “interested person” by virtue of his employment with the Adviser. The Company believes that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders for Mr. Faggen to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board because of his significant experience in matters of relevance to the Company’s business. The Board has determined that the composition of the Audit Committee (consisting solely of Independent Directors) is an appropriate means to address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the Chairman’s status as CEO and an interested person of the Company. The Company believes that the Board’s flexibility to determine its Chairman and reorganize its leadership structure from time to time is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Each year, the Independent Directors will designate an Independent Director to serve as the lead Independent Director on the Board. The designation of a lead Independent Director is for a one-year term and a lead Independent Director may be eligible for re-election at the end of that term. If the lead Independent Director is unavailable for a meeting, his or her immediate predecessor will serve as lead Independent Director for such meeting. The lead Independent Director will preside over meetings of the Company’s Independent Board. The lead Independent Director will also serve as a liaison between the Company’s Independent Board and the Company’s management on a wide variety of matters, including agenda items for the Board meetings. Designation as such does not impose on the lead Independent Director any obligations or standards greater than or different from those of the Company’s other directors. Mr. Ruther currently serves as the Independent Board’s lead Independent Director.

All of the Independent Directors play an active role on the Board. The Independent Directors compose a majority of the Board and are closely involved in all material deliberations related to the Company. The Adviser,Board believes that, with these practices, each Independent Director has an equal involvement in the actions and notoversight role of the Board and equal accountability to the Company would be responsibleand its stockholders. The Independent Directors are expected to meet separately (i) as part of each regular Board meeting and (ii) with the Company’s chief compliance officer, as part of at least one Board meeting each year. The Independent Director committee may hold additional meetings at the request of the lead Independent Director or another Independent Director.

The Board believes that its leadership structure—a chair of the Board with the requisite experience, a lead independent director, and committees led by independent directors—is the optimal structure for the paymentCompany at this time because it allows the Company’s directors to exercise informed and independent judgment, and allocates areas of responsibility among committees of independent directors and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Board is of the opinion that having a majority of independent directors is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders, but also believes that having two interested persons serve as directors brings both corporate and financial viewpoints that are significant elements in its decision-making process. The Board will review its leadership structure periodically as part of its annual self-assessment process and may make changes to it at any sub-advisory fees due undertime, including in response to changes in the Proposed ZAIS Sub-Advisory Agreement.characteristics or circumstances of the Company.


WhoBoard Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees the Company’s business and operations, including certain risk management functions. Risk management is a broad concept comprising many disparate elements (for example, investment risk, issuer and counterparty risk, compliance risk, operational risk, and business continuity risk). The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through its committees. In the Current Sub-Advisercourse of providing oversight, the Board and its committees receive reports on the Company’s and the Advisers’ activities, including reports regarding the Company’s investment portfolio and financial accounting and reporting. The Board also receives a quarterly report from the Company’s chief compliance officer, who reports on the Company’s compliance with the federal and state securities laws and the Company’s internal compliance policies and procedures as well as those of the Advisor, the managing dealer for the Offering (the “Managing Dealer”), the Company’s administrator and the Company’s transfer agent. The Audit Committee’s meetings with the Company’s independent public accounting firm also contribute to its oversight of certain internal control risks. In addition, the Company?Board meets periodically with the Adviser to receive reports regarding the Company’s operations, including reports on certain investment and operational risks, and the Independent Directors are encouraged to communicate directly with senior members of the Company’s management.

The Board believes that this role in risk oversight is appropriate for the Company at this time. The Company doesbelieves that there are robust internal processes in place and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks. However, not currently have a sub-adviser. Sound Point Capital, LP previously served asall risks that may affect the Company’s sub-adviser butCompany can be identified or processes and controls developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and some risks are beyond the agreement betweencontrol of the Company, the Adviser and Sound Point terminated effective May 22, 2014.

(1)“Operating Expense Ratio” includes all expenses borne by us, except for organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to our Adviser, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses.  The Company did not achieve its minimum offering amount until June 25, 2014 and as a result, did not invest the proceeds from the offering and realize any income from investments prior to the end of its fiscal quarter.

(2)“Annualized Distribution Rate” equals the annualized rate of distributions paid to stockholders based on the amount of the regular cash distribution paid immediately prior to the date the expense support payment obligation was incurred by our Adviser. “Annualized Distribution Rate” does not include special cash or stock distributions paid to stockholders. The Company did not achieve its minimum offering amount until June 25, 2014 and as a result, did not have an opportunity to invest the proceeds from the offering and realize any income from investments or pay any distributions to stockholders prior to the end of its fiscal quarter.

Of these Operating Expenses, $47,937 as of December 31, 2015 has exceeded the three year period for repayment and will not be repayable by the Company.

In addition, with respect to any expense support payment attributable to the Company’s organizational and offering expenses, the Company will only reimburse the Adviser for expense support payments made by the Adviser to the extent that the payment of such reimbursement (together with any other reimbursement for organizational and offering expenses paid during such fiscal year) is limited to 15% of cumulative gross sales proceeds from the Company’s offering including the sales load (or dealer manager fee) paid by the Company.

The Company or the Adviser may terminate the Expense Reimbursement Agreement at any time upon thirty days’ written notice, however, the Adviser has indicated that it expects to continue such reimbursements until it deems that the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that the Company bears a majorityreasonable level of expenses in relation to its income. The Expense Reimbursement Agreement will automatically terminate upon termination of the Independent Directors, determined to: (1) appoint ZAISInvestment Advisory Agreement or upon the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.

The Expense Reimbursement Agreement is, by its terms, effective retroactively to our inception date of April 29, 2011. As a result, our Adviser has agreed to reimburse a total of $3,080,588 as sub-adviserof December 31, 2015, which amounts have consisted of offsets against amounts owed by us to our Adviser since our inception.

The Company compensates TFA Associates, LLC (an affiliate of the Company) for administration services per an Administration Agreement for costs and expenses incurred with the administration and operation of the Company. Such agreement expires June 2016 and may continue automatically for successive annual periods, as approved by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid TFA Associates $257,576 in administrative fees.

The dealer manager for the Company’s public offering is Triton Pacific Securities, LLC, which is one of the Company’s affiliates. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid the dealer manager $398,363 in sales commissions and dealer fees. Of this amount, $98,817 was retained by Triton Pacific Securities, and the remainder re-allowed to third party participating broker dealers.

Audit Committee Report

As part of its oversight of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with both management and FGMK, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also discussed with FGMK the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Standards Board AU 380,Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.

The Audit Committee has established a number of factors, including, but not limited to,pre-approval policy that describes the following: (1) the Adviser’s view with respect to the reputation of ZAIS as a manager to similar funds; (2) ZAIS’ strengthpermitted audit, audit-related, tax, and reputation in the industry; (3) the nature, extent, and quality of theother services to be provided by ZAIS underFGMK.

Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by FGMK to be provided by ZAISmanagement.

In this event, the Board will consider other appropriate action, which may include, among other things, appointment of a different sub-adviser, or direct management by the Adviser.

PROPOSAL TWO — APPROVAL OF A “MANAGER-OF-MANAGERS” ARRANGEMENT

What is Proposal Two?

The Company intends to apply for an exemptive order from the SEC to permit the Company and its investment adviser, Triton Pacific Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”) with the approval of the Board, to enter into or materially amend sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers, without submitting the agreement to a vote of stockholders (the “Proposed Relief”). An investment company operating in this manner is commonly referred to as a “Manager-of-Managers” investment company. The Company’s stockholders are asked to approve operation of the Company as a manager-of-managers investment company. If this proposal is approved and the Proposed Relief is granted, the Advisershares, your broker will be permitted to entervote your shares for this proposal.

The material contained in the foregoing Audit Committee Report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers, or to materially modify certain sub-advisory agreements, with prior approval by the Board (including a majority of our independent directors) but without approval by our stockholders.

Why is a manager-of-managers arrangement proposed?

Subject to the supervision and approval of our Board and approval of our stockholders, TPA is responsible for managing the assetsany filing of the Company and is permitted, under the termsSecurities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Investment Advisory Agreement betweenExchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF FGMK, LLC AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Company and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”), to engage sub-advisers to provide portfolio management services to Company. If the Adviser delegates sub-advisory duties to a sub-adviser, the Adviser shall continue to remain responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the sub-adviser.

Under the current Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is required to monitor the investment program of any sub-adviser, review all data and financial reports prepared by the sub-adviser, establish and maintain communications with the sub-adviser, and oversee all matters relating to the purchase and sale of investment securities, corporate governance, third-party contracts and regulatory compliance reports. The Adviser is also required to oversee and monitor the performance of the sub-adviser and is responsible for determining whether to recommend to the Board that a particular sub-advisory agreement be entered into or terminated. A determination of whether to recommend the termination of a sub-advisory agreement depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the sub-adviser’s performance record.


The 1940 Act generally requires that a written sub-advisory agreement be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares ofhold an investment company. The appointment of a new sub-adviser or material modification of an existing sub-advisory agreement must also be presented for approval by stockholders under the 1940 Act. The Company intends to seek an exemptive order from the SEC that would permit the Adviser to enter into a new sub-advisory agreement or materially amend an existing sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser, subject to approval by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), but without obtaining stockholder approval. An investment company operating in this manner is commonly referred to as a “Manager-of-Managers” investment company. The Company can operate as a manager-of-managers investment company in reliance upon the Proposed Relief only if, among other things, the SEC grants the Company an exemptive order approving the Proposed Relief and the Company’s stockholders have approved the manager-of-managers arrangement. That approval is sought in this Proposal Two.

The Company and the Adviser anticipate that the Proposed Relief would give the Adviser greater flexibility to select, supervise, and evaluate sub-advisers without incurring the expense and potential delay of seeking specific stockholder approval to utilize their investment management expertise. Under current applicable law, the Company must call and hold aannual meeting of the Company’s stockholders create and distribute proxy materials, and arrange for the solicitationelection of voting instructions from stockholders. This process is time-intensive, slow,directors and costly. Under the Proposed Relief,transaction of any business within the Board would be able to act more quicklypowers of the Company on a date and with less expense to appointat a sub-adviser or materially amend an agreement with a sub-adviser.

What is the proposed Manager-of-Managers arrangement?

If this proposal is approvedtime set by the Company’s stockholders,Board. In addition, the Company will hold special meetings as required or deemed desirable, or upon the request of holders of at least 10% of the Company’s outstanding Shares entitled to vote. Any stockholder that wishes to submit an applicationa proposal for consideration at a subsequent meeting of the stockholders should mail the proposal promptly to the Secretary of the Company. Any proposal to be considered for submission to stockholders must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and must be received by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and any other applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding director nominations. When submitting a nomination to the Company for consideration, a stockholder must provide certain information that would be required under applicable SEC requesting that thatrules, including the SEC issuefollowing minimum information for each director nominee: full name, age, and address; class, series and number of Shares beneficially owned by the Proposed relief permittingnominee, if any; the Adviser, withdate such Shares were acquired and the approvalinvestment intent of such acquisition; whether such stockholder believes the individual is an “interested person” of the Board, to enter into or materially modify sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers without requiring stockholder approval. The Company, and the Adviser anticipate that this relief would benefit stockholders to the extent that it will give the Company and the Adviser additional flexibility to implement sub-adviser changes or materially modify sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers when needed, and to avoid numerous and expensive proxy solicitations. The Company will continue to obtain stockholder approval of a sub-advisory agreement with a sub-adviser considered to be an “affiliated person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Company or the Adviser.

The manager-of-managers arrangement will enable the Company to operate with greater efficiency by allowing the Adviser to employ sub-advisers that are best suited to the needs of the Company, without incurring the expenseAct; and delays associated with obtaining stockholder approval of sub-advisers or sub-advisory agreements.

What are the conditions of the exemptive relief expectedall other information required to be granted pursuant to the Proposed Relief?

The Company believes that under the termsdisclosed in solicitations of the Proposed Relief, the Company and the Adviser would be subject to several conditions imposed by the SEC. The Company would be required to continue to obtain stockholder approval to approve or materially modify a sub-advisory agreement with an affiliated sub-adviser. Further, under the conditionsproxies for election of the Proposed Relief, within 90 days of the adoption of a new sub-advisory agreement or a change to an existing sub-advisory arrangement, the Company’s stockholders must be provided with an information statement that contains information about the sub-adviser and sub-advisory agreement.

In addition, in order to rely on the manager-of-managers relief, a majority of the Board must consist of Independent Directors and the nomination of new or additional Independent Directors must be at the discretion of the then existing Independent Directors. The Company’s prospectus must prominently discuss the manager-of-managers arrangement, including the fact that the Adviser has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. If an unaffiliated sub-adviser is hired or terminated, the Adviser must provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on its profitability.

What is the recommendation of the Board?

Based upon its review and after consideration of such factors and information it considered relevant, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors present at its July 8, 2014 meeting, approved Proposal Two and voted to recommend to stockholders that they approve the Proposal. The Board is therefore recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote”FOR” the proposed manager-of-managers arrangement for the Company, as discussed in this Proxy Statement.


What factors were considered by the Board?

In determining whether or not it was appropriate to approve the proposed Manager-of-Managers arrangement and to recommend approval of such arrangements to the Company’s stockholders, the Board, including the Independent Directors, considered certain information and representations provided by the Adviser.

After carefully considering the Company’s contractual arrangement under which the Adviser is engaged as an investment adviser, and the Adviser’s experience in recommending and monitoring sub-advisers, the Board believes that it is appropriate to allow the recommendation, supervision, and evaluation of sub-advisers to be conducted by the Adviser. The Board also believes that this approach would be consistent with stockholders’ expectations that the Adviser will use its expertise to recommend to the Board qualified candidates to serve as sub-advisers.

The Board will continue to provide oversight of the sub-adviser selection and engagement process. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, will continue to evaluate and consider for approval all new or amended sub-advisory agreements. In addition, under the 1940 Act and the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, is required to review annually and consider for renewal, the agreement after the initial term. Upon entering into, renewing or amending a sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser and the sub-advisers have a legal duty to provide to the Board, information on pertinent factors.

The Board also considered that stockholder approval of Proposal Two will not resultdirectors in an increaseelection contest or decrease in the total amount of investment advisory fees paid by the Company to the Adviser. When engaging sub-advisers and entering into sub-advisory agreements, the Adviser has negotiated and will continue to negotiate fees with sub-advisers. These fees are paid directly by the Adviser and not by the Company. Therefore, any fee reduction or increase negotiated by the Adviser may be either beneficial or detrimental to the Adviser. The fees paid by the Company to the Adviser and the fees paid by the Adviser to the sub-advisers are considered by the Board in approving and renewing the investment management and sub-advisory agreements. Any increase in the investment management fee paid to the Adviser by the Company would continue to require stockholder approval.

The Board concluded that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to provide the Adviser and the Board with maximum flexibility to recommend, supervise and evaluate sub-advisers without incurring the unnecessary delay or expense of obtaining stockholder approval. This process will allow the Company to operate more efficiently. Currently, to appoint an unaffiliated sub-adviser to the Company or to materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser, the Company must call and hold a stockholder meeting, create and distribute proxy materials, and solicit proxy votes from stockholders. In addition, if a sub-adviser to the Company is acquired or there is a change of control of the sub-adviser that results in the “assignment” of the sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser, the Company currently must seek approval of a new sub-advisory agreement from its stockholders, even when there will be no change in the persons managing the sub-adviser or no change to the services provided to the Company. This process is time-consuming and costly, and some of the costs may be borne by the Company. Without the delay inherent in holding a stockholder meeting, the Adviser and the Company would be able to act more quickly to appoint an unaffiliated sub-adviser with less expense when the Board and the Adviser believe that the appointment would benefit the Company.

What is the required vote?

The Company’s stockholders must approve Proposal Two for it to be effective for the Company. Proposal Two must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. All stockholders of the Company will vote together as a single class on the Proposal.


What happens if stockholders do not approve Proposal Two?

If stockholders do not approve the manager-of-managers arrangement, or if the SEC does not grant the Proposed Relief, it will not be implemented and the Company will continue to be required to obtain stockholder approval of any changes in the sub-adviser of the Company or any material changes to sub-advisory agreements. Becauseotherwise required. To date, the Company has not yet obtainedreceived any recommendations from stockholders requesting consideration of a candidate for inclusion among the approvalcommittee’s slate of nominees in the Company’s proxy statement.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, for a director nomination or other business to be considered for the next annual meeting of stockholders, notice must be provided in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the SEC of the Proposed Relief, the stockholders’ approval, or failure to approve, this proposal will have no effect on Proposal One and the approval of ZAIS to act asCompany at the Company’s sub-adviser.principal executive office on or before December 31, 2016. Such proposals must also comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC if such proposals are to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy. Any such proposal should be mailed to: Triton Pacific Investment Corporation, Inc., 6701 Center Drive, 14th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90045, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion.
